We just upgraded to Excel 2007 and Vista on some of our machines at work.
On some sheets when we select one cell multiple cells are selected. This
does not happen every time, but enough to be annoying. Hoe do we fix this?

I guess it's the same as Excel 2003 in which case try tapping F8.

Thanks, but that is not it.
We tried that (earlier suggestion from a different site). F8 was not
selected.
We also ran diagnostics and checked for updates. So far every once in a
while multiple cells "auo-select" with a single click.

Did you find a solution? We are experiencing the same issue on windows xp
machine running Office 2007. It seems to be very random and limited to only
a few different workbooks.

No I have not found a solution. It is random and limited here as well. I
have seen people asking this question for months now. No one has given a
good answer and MS has ignored it.

We have the same problem here with some of our spreadsheets.

when you click on one cell excel highlights the cell you seleted and 3 or
more below it in the same row! editing works as though you only have one cell
selected.

it gets worse though!......

if you zoom in a bit you select more cells with each click - zoom out far
enough and it works fine - you only select one cell with each click - i've
spent some time trawling the net to no avail.

It doesn't seem to affect new wokbooks only ones which have been knocking
around for a while - but i don't feel like starting from scratch with the
hundred or so template files we use here!

I am yet to find any acklowledgment of this issue from microsoft.

F8 and mouse drivers and office 2007 SP1 seem not to make any difference
whatsoever.
